D Day Arvalenreeva
Fair Flat racer who is 2-2 in handicap hurdles; cruised clear to win easily at Ludlow (2m, good) last month and commands respect here, despite a subsequent 11lb hike up the weights.

Lahinch Wave
Safely held when ridden very patiently in 2m5f Fontwell novice last month, after a layoff, but made all on hurdle debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) last September and it will be interesting to see whether connections revert to positive tactics over this shorter trip on her handicap debut.

Jolie Coeur Allen
Made the frame four times over hurdles for Willie Mullins in Ireland but disappointed over C&D on summer's stable debut and did not show much on her three subsequent Flat starts; others have much less to prove.

Not beaten far when seventh of 14 on handicap debut at Cork (2m, yielding) and but we haven't seen her again since; makes stable debut here; cheekpieces removed after one use; market may guide.

Spot On Soph
Kept on well for third in this race a year ago and won at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) on her next outing but we haven't seen her since a below-par C&D run last August and she'll need to resume in peak form to have a chance off her current handicap mark.

Bellbird
Fairly consistent in handicaps since her Ludlow novice win (2m, good) just over a year ago; drops back in trip after perfectly respectable second at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) last month and probably won't be far away.
